This should come as no surprise as Dr. Halamka has posted about some of this technology in his own blog, which there is a link to on this site and you can also go here to read. Also in the news recently was the availability of another program used called Medpedia from the Medical School. The Medical Center is also working on a large Medical Records program to host medical records for physicians to help take the bite out of the cost and make electronic records a reality for physicians in the area.

The Massachusetts Development Technology Corp., which invests in start-up and early-stage technologies in the state, was the lead investor in the funding round and was joined by existing investors.
Waltham, Mass.-based Forerun is commercializing technology developed at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. The company expects to make the remotely hosted software widely available within 18 months.
"The technology behind Forerun was pioneered by doctors who have extensive experience with emergency-room operations. Dr. John Halamka, Chief Information Officer of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Richard Wolfe, Chair of the Emergency Department at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Dr. Larry Nathanson, Director of Emergency Medical Informatics at the center are the key physicians responsible for making the ED Dashboard a best in class application at the BIDMC where it has enjoyed a six-year optional success record."
